Nebbiolo is not only produced between Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero in southern Piedmont but throughout northern Piedmont as in the DOCG Gattinara, DOCG Ghemme and other DOCs between the provinces of Biella, Vercelli and Novara. Furthermore, it is the main grape variety in the production of the DOCG Valtellina and Valtellina Sforzato in Lombardy where it is called Chiavennasca and in the Aosta Valley where it is called Picotendro and is called Prunent on the Simplon Pass, the last border with Switzerland.

Good clip. The only thing I would take issue with is your comment that Barolo is low in tannin. I drink quite a lot and it is high in tannin, unlike Burgundy. In fact I had a co-op Barolo 2012 last weekend and, although the tannins had softened a little they were still noticeable.
I am currently drinking the 2011s and 12s whilst waiting for the '13s, 15s and 16s to mature. In fact the 2018s might be ready before the '13s.
Thank you for your informative videos.
